It'll be interesting to see the public reaction, I guess there are already nuclear protesters in Germany, and I don't think the Rhein has ever seen a Tsunami. I'm sure this will be analyzed in depth and more secondary and tertiary levels of safety will be developed and required.
I believe in San Onofre the reactor vessel is located below sea level, so in the event of failures of all the back-up systems, the containment structure could be flooded with sea water to cool the reactor.
